There's a lot to learn when you have a new pet. Our sister brand, The Wildest, is here to support you—with new pet checklists, virtual training, and expert guides. Sign up for free.
Meet Munchkin, our charming 11-year-old mixed breed boy, weighing in at a delightful 30 pounds. With a background in a local pet store, he's a social butterfly who effortlessly interacts with cats, dogs, and children (he loves children!). Munchkin brings a wealth of experience from his previous home, making him a seasoned companion. While he may need a bit of time to adjust to his new surroundings, his friendly nature and adaptability shine through. Consistent potty breaks and the potential use of belly bands can aid in this transition. If you're ready to open your heart to an easygoing and loving companion, Munchkin is the perfect fit for a forever home filled with warmth and care. Munchkin has had a recent dental cleaning and extraction of some teeth, senior panel blood work (nothing notable), and removal of a few pesky skin tags, but is healthy and ready to find his new family!
